You've done a smashing job on that Stephen...

A couple of questions.. When you say guidecoat, do you mean a coat of colour of some sort over the primer to see where you are rubbing? Or is this a product name?.. You seem to have misted some black over it.

Regarding your air supply problems, I'm curious as to your tank size and the cfm of your compressor. The reason I ask is that I bought a nice compressor and tank earlier this year in the hope that it would be enough to do my tank...Just wondered if I need an auxiliary tank, as I can lay my hands on one fairly easily.

I was going to add a stripe and the decals straight onto the base coat and then lacquer the whole shooting match in one go. You say that you will flat the lacquer, then add the decals and more lacquer... Is that standard practise? Or have I got it wrong?

Anyway I'll be well pleased if mine comes out as nice as yours... Well done...
